DIY Popsicle Stick Photo Frame

I'm a photo hoarder. I love having perfect shots of every moment. Nice to have memories hanging on the wall. 

I like to get crafty (sometimes). 

Although, I'm not really the DIY guru. I try to find the easiest way to make something out of nothing. It's the lack of effort I enjoy I suppose. 

Photo frames are a MUST in my home. I have some in every room. I wanted a new way to show off the cute little snaps. 

So here I am, telling ya'll how to keep it simple & cute! 

Make a frame from popsicle sticks! 

This is also a project that the kiddos would like to take part in!

I like the popsicles on the basic wooden stick. So to spice it up, I just paint them whatever color I decide. I like black & white photos on a dark background, so black was my first choice.  

Just paint & glue together! Add your photo and maybe some stickers or jewels! 

Easy, cheap, and cute. Wanted to share something a little different. Thanks for reading!

Store Your Makeup the Right Way

If you splurge on your face paint, this post is for you. Take care of your things or you'll cry. 

Everyone needs a crafty way to store their makeup. Knocking your mascara into the sink or your lipstick onto the floor is just unacceptable, you know? 

Don't lose your foundation in the messy basket you put your cosmetics in by the sink & mirror. 

Noooo. Your poor brushes. 

That makeup bag you've had for years... It's time to ditch it. Don't you hate when you open it to grab something and everything spills? Or a powder has broken and spills out everywhere? Ugh. Tragic. 

THIS...

 LEADS TO THIS...

There is a better (& inexpensive) way. 

Buy some mason jars. Paint them. Add glitter. Whatever your style may be, keep your sh*t organized. 

I love DIY projects. I found this really cute way to glam up your makeup jar on pinterest & I already made three! 

Adorable! How do you store your goods? :)

New Years Eve Champagne Punch

2016 is finally coming to an end. It's been a crazy year, ready for a new one! 

If you're hosting a party tonight, or if you're spending it with a few, make some bomb drinks for you and your friends!

NYE Champagne Punch 

What You'll Need:
(2) bottles Champagne
(1) 750 mL bottle Ruby Port

(2) cups Grapefruit Juice

1/2 cup Simple Syrup

Grapefruit Slices

What to Do: 

- Place all ingredients in a large punch bowl filled with ice. Large ice works best here, so that the punch is able to hold without diluting too fast (if you don’t have large ice molds, you could freeze large blocks of ice in Tupperware containers). Also, if you wanna bump up the booze, you can freeze champagne and use as ice cubes as well.

- Garnish with fresh grapefruit slices.  

Happy New Years Eve! Hope everyone brings in 2017 in a great way! Please drink responsibly!

Why I Dislike Starbucks

I love coffee. 

Seriously.

If my heart wouldn't burst, I would drink only coffee and maybe a little soda too. That doesn't stop me from having at least two cups a day.

I have a Keurig. So coffee is super simple & is always made to taste the exact way I want it. If I'm on the go, I just make a cup before I leave the house.

I've always wanted to like Starbucks. I feel like everyone on the Earth is just so infatuated with the place. Let me tell you why I hate it. 

Um, why the f*ck is it so crowded in here? It's a coffee shop with a hundred people in it. Some sitting on their laptops, others are gossiping with their friends. Ew. Socialization. 

I don't know how to pronounce anything on this menu. Wait, why do I have to order the size of my cup in a different language? 

"Do you want to add a shot of anything?"

A shot? Whiskey if you have it. Why is this so complicated? I guess being an upscale coffeehouse, they needed their own lingo. 

Why so overpriced? Like the coffee isn't even that good. Girls in their Ugg boots feel that the money is worth the logo on a cup that they're going to throw away. 

Ugh. I just don't understand what all the hype is about. 

"Coffee is coffee."

Well, stupid is stupid. Everyone has a preference of flavor. So no, coffee is not just coffee. It's the reason why I don't hit people in the morning and the reason why I'm not falling asleep on my office desk at 2pm. 

Do you buy into the hype? Do you make your own? Let me know!

*Spiked* Hot Caramel Apple Cider

The recipes for mixed drinks just keep coming. 

Stay warm with this yummy hot caramel apple cider. :)

What You'll Need: 

4 cups Apple Cider

1 cup Caramel Vodka.. Or more. ;) 

1 tablespoon Cinnamon

1/4 Brown Sugar 

The brown sugar is to rim your glasses and make them pretty. After taste testing, if you wanna add sugar, go for it! 

Putting it Together:

1.) Mix all ingredients in large pot.

2.) Heat over medium-low heat. I keep it on a low setting so the booze won't burn out. Stir occasionally until liquid starts to steam. 

3.) While the cider is warming up, rim glasses with brown sugar. So friggin' cute. 

4.) Pour drank in glasses and enjoy! 

Super easy, right? Tastes great too. Nice, cozy holiday drink. 

Merry Christmas!

Everyone is a morning person today!  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, surrounded by loved ones and yummy food! Take it easy & enjoy the holiday.
